Perpetual Performance Art


So a company in Dublin that appears to be headed up by Deco Cuffe from The Commitments is demonstrating a perpetual motion machine. I will be disappointed if this isn't a brilliant viral marketing scheme for a new Roddy Doyle book.

my fatherinlaw proposed a concept to me of a perpetual motion machine, the first year I was married "it involves magnets" ... oh really Cliff Claven!?!?!? (he even worked for the US postal service at the time).

I have had skepticism ever since. Lemme know who their proposal turns out.

Did you watch the video demo linked? It's funny. Yes, their free energy machine involves magnets, and (get this) a battery. They've built a battery-powered battery recharger. Hm. Also, of course, the install of the demo machine can be viewed but not inspected, so there may be addl chicanery involved.

Yep, I saw it. I'll believe it when there's a 100MW generator hooked up to it, and No Fuel is being burnt, no steam supplied, no thermal gradients being leveraged.

Good luck to them, and their Chinese made magnets.
